"We are not afraid of competition. The market is still in the making and one who takes right decisions at the right time will be the leader. We did it 20 years ago... When we saw the first queues that were lining up to our first restaurant in Moscow every day and night all year round, our success was predetermined and all we had to do was to develop as fast as possible."

- Khamzat Khasbulatov , McDonald's Corporation, president for Russia and Eastern Europe, in December 2009.

"Of the 118 countries where McDonald's Corp. does business, none can boast more activity than Russia. On average, each location serves about 850,000 diners annually -- more than twice the store traffic in McDonald's other markets. That has presented the world's largest restaurant chain with an unusual dilemma. Russia, with its burgeoning middle-class and consumer appetites for all things American, is a jewel in the McDonald's system."

- The Wall Street Journal, October 16, 2007.
